I’m falling into a paralysing anti posting person, as I feel I have to impress people who come to my site … which is sad as this website is my warts and all journal to track my progress. I’ve semi gotten over it so here we are, three fails for us all to learn from. Tissue paper is featured heavily, I love the texture and the weird things it does when adhering it to watercolour paper using Bindex and I wanted to see which areas it worked best in.

I found a face full of tissue can be gross, I often start ripping away at the paper as sometimes the tissue gets cloggy and makes the colours look pebbledashy which doesn’t look nice. Also I’ve been really throwing around the masking fluid, and it doesn’t look good applied in small areas, I think it may look better used extremely finely or in large areas, like my fox!

Hi, I am a self-taught watercolourist from England, I started oddkness.com to serve me as a journal to discover who I was and where I stand as an artist.

My work is devoted to the glorification of animals, being deprived their companionship in childhood has led me to become even more enchanted by their existence. I hope you enjoy my posts, and if you do — don’t be a stranger, I’d love to hear from you.
